Yeah of course, but I'd only be giving out 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Even apart from that they all use numbers different. I try to do it where 4 stars mean I really liked it an 5 stars means I LOVED it. But a lot of them refuse to give 10 because they don't want to say anything is "perfect." I have given a few 6 star rating just as a way to communicate it's one of my all time favorites (Spider verse 2019, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Puss & Boots the last wish are some examples) which is sort of similar to them giving a 10 but some of them seriously just never give 10s. I use 6 stars as more of a "5 star but let me clear, I think this shit is one of the best".

Even to me who is saying "I give this 3 out of 5" it somehow feels extremely different than saying "I give this 6 out of 10" so I don't really like to do it. I view star ratings more as buckets to put movies in more than a rating. Like there are five buckets and I put which it goes in. Idk. It makes sense in my head.
